excellent, professional lawyer

Daniel is a great lawyer. He is very professional, clever, engaged and extremely responsive. That's what you want from a lawyer. He is really on your side, great listener and has tremendous patience and talent in explaining his legal advice so that non-experts can understand it. He will always be on ...top of deadlines and knows how to expertly deal with all the parties involved. I've dealt with several lawyers in the past, and Daniel has consistently been the best. Highly recommend him.
